What's going on guys? Sounds like the recent vacations and
trip to St. George has been fun. Dad I got a kick out of your 7 month old
food baby comment! I'm starting the get a little food baby going
on...geez these people just don't stop feeding us haha. Thanks for the
pictures. Mom thanks for sending me that talk. I'll have to print it off
sometime and read it when I've got more time. Sounds like the girls had
some fun in girls camp. I'm glad to hear that Jami helped Lexi out.
That's really nice Jami. Dad I was wondering if you could update me on
some golf stuff in you email, just some fun information about who wins
and stuff like that. That's cool that Tyler went to NYC! I'm sure he had
fun. I still remember walking through Times Square on HT...it is an
amazing place. I'm glad to hear all is well and that you're safe and
sound.
Well.....the news is in and looks like I'm headed
for a new area! I'm getting transferred. Out of the 4 missionaries in the
Agua Azul ward, Elder Burden, Elder Durffee, and I all have transfers.
Lots of changes. I'm excited, but sad at the same time. You really get
used to a ward and area getting to know everybody and stuff. Also, Elder
Burden and I have babied out new little area from the very start. It
has been such a growing period here. It's pretty interesting because I
have almost a year on my mission and only 2 areas!! Well that's about to
change. It does get a little old sometimes visited to same people and
seeing the same things. It's time for a change. I'm really excited to see
what my new area brings. I know that I'm going to learn a lot training
and being a new DL all in a unknown area and zone. Today we've been
packing and saying goodbye to as many as we can. It's always a crazy
P-day when you have transfers. Anyway, this week was really slow. We've
found and taught a lot of new investigators here, but most of them are
either not progressing, or have a big obstacle whether it be being busy
or lack of permission. The 2 members of the Beltran Leon family that we
were going to get baptized on the 20th weren't baptized because the Father
refused. He hasn't been to church, he listens, but he doesn't do any
commitments. He is still giving it all a chance, but he's got to start
reading the Book of Mormon and going to church. It was really hard for
us to see them want to be baptized and not being able. I have faith
that someday the whole family will be baptized. We've also been doing
the best we can to leave the area all ready for the new missionaries to
come in. That's what I always want to do: leave my area better than I
found it. Anyway, the meeting is tomorrow at 12 and so next Monday I'll a lot to tell ya'll.
I want to take some time to thank you all yet again
for all the love and support you provide me. It really means everything.
Elder Durffee and I were talking one day just about how privileged we
are to live in the United States and have so many blessing that we have.
It's incredible how blessed we are. Living in a different country has
opened my eyes and helped me to be more grateful for all the blessings
and opportunities that I've always taken for granted before. Mom and Dad I
wanted to thank you so much for always taking care and providing for me
over the years. Thank you for all the hard work and for the example
that you've been to me. I love you ma n pops. Sometimes I think of the
way we live over there and I remember back home and it literally seems
like a dream. That's exactly it. We live a dream life. BE grateful for
it because not everybody lives the way you do. I'm not saying that
everyone lives poor and miserable here either, because they don't. There
is a lot of blessed people here too. Well anyway that's my lecture for
the day. :) Love you guys tons. Keep it up! Do the most important
things. Don't ever forget who you are and the divine potential that you
have!
Con Amor
